Bring It All Home

This weeks has been the most productive week of this semester as I managed to maintain a full attendance and focus across all projects which has left me feeling very confident about finishing the years on a high. Deciding to attend college last Friday was pinnacle in this progress as I managed to make contact with all of my tutors and discuss where I should be in terms of each project. Once I had all this information I found it very easy to review my work and make a consistent and equal progress in each segment of each module.
The Beatles research I am conducting has had the focus moved to next week’s presentation conference where I am required to prepare a 5 to 10 minute visual presentation on a segment of my research so far. I have began work on this and have selected a few small topics from within my research which describe the events leading up to the Beatles’ decision to stop playing live and also their first endeavours in the studio based career that was to follow.
For my solo project I now have all the acts in place and have successfully arranged rehearsal schedule with all the acts for the remainder of the time before the show. The show itself will be on the 5th May 2011 at 12.30pm in the Goodlyburn Theatre at Perth College. I will post on the progress of this in the coming weeks.
With regards to the ensemble research from semester 1 I have a feeling I have failed this due to the word count in my submission and have began preparing my work for re-submission. I am glad I submitted this research on time despite my concern over the standards presented as I now have more time to prepare a re-submission than I would have had if I was still on my first submission which has a deadline of next week.
All the content has been prepared for my website design and as I have mentioned I was to return to working on the proposal/contract part of this project which was finally completed during class this week and I now await the new tutor’s feedback. In the meantime I can now return to working on the layout and design of the website itself which I have some paper based sketches for to help start the design process. I am hoping that I can finish this project before the Easter holidays to free up some more time to dedicate to my dissertation and solo performance. If after the holidays I am left with only a project evaluation for my website design then I will be more than happy with the progress I have made in such a short time.
The portfolio project has also drawn to an end as we all enter the presentation of our final designs with our designated designers. The presentations started this week and I decided to go first and with the help of my designer we managed to describe the journey we have taken and how each design had progressed across different discussions. I was pleased with the presentation we made as with very little preparation we managed to describe most of the work we had completed and justify the correlation of designs we had presented. Having completed my proposal and brief I have only now to complete the evaluation of the project and submit with all my final designs in a presentation portfolio.
There was no session environment class this week so I ended the week on a high and with some free time to spare which I have now spent reporting this! Next week I hope to have more information regarding the details of my dissertation and solo performance.
